Chapter 1197: Was It A Delusion?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Wulin did not inform Mang Tian that he was currently the Tang Sect’s Sect Master for it was quite unbelievable. However, the mere mention of the powerhouse sect that was once at par with the Spirit Pagoda gave Mang Tian some relief.
“Wulin, are you concerned that the Spirit Pagoda would..., but they’re the leading organization on the continent. They should be...”
Tang Wulin sneered coldly. “I don’t trust them at all. If they even have a sense of decency being the leading organization on the continent, then they wouldn’t have taken away my parents.”
“Alright. I’ll pass the message to your father when he calls again. Do take good care of yourself. You should know that your father and mother risked their lives just so you can be safe. Oh right, how’s the little girl Na’er? Your father learned that you found her the last time, and he was quite surprised.”
Tang Wulin felt a painful tug in his heart at Mang Tian’s mention of Na’er. He had yet to figure out what actually happened between Na’er and Gu Yue until now.
“Na’er, she... she’s pretty good.” Tang Wulin hesitated but still dared not speak the truth.
When Tang Wulin ended the communication, he could hardly keep his emotions in check. He had finally gotten news of his parents. At least, his parents were still alive. Although he felt excited, the enmity he had for the Spirit Pagoda was burning within him.
He could not wait anymore. He would certainly rescue his parents this time regardless.
It would definitely not be an easy task to save them. Firstly, he had little information, and this proved to be the biggest issue to him right now. As for the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin was not too concerned over them as he was confident of his abilities. In addition, he had so many comrades by his side.
The Spirit Pagoda’s greatest force was on the Douluo Continent, so the force they had on the Dou Spirit Continent was weaker. Currently, he would have to figure out how to locate his parents on the Dou Spirit Continent.
His only available clue was that it was a city located at a very high altitude.
Tang Wulin was completely clueless about the situation in the Dou Spirit Continent. Nevertheless, he still had the assistance of the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect was an extensive organization which stretched across three continents, so they had comprehensive knowledge of the Dou Spirit Continent.
Tang Wulin was up all night.
Early morning the next day, Tang Wulin met with the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin. He recounted his parent’s situation to Zang Xin.
Zang Xin pondered for a moment upon listening to Tang Wulin’s account and spoke, “The Dou Spirit Continent is the smallest of the three continents. Its overall topography is a long and narrow strip of highlands. There are three cities with high altitudes. Two of the three cities are near the border. The biggest city is located next to the Dou Spirit Empire’s capital, Heaven Dou City. It’s called Spirit Wave City. I think there’s an important division of the Spirit Pagoda over there coincidentally. Could it be there?”
Tang Wulin was overjoyed upon hearing that. The sense of direction became much clearer with Zang Xin’s guidance. Although he may not necessarily find his parents there, at least he would not be dashing about aimlessly like a headless fly.
After getting some trustworthy information, Tang Wulin regained his composure. He recalled the strange, lucid dream he had last night. Could it be that when his spiritual power was elevated to a certain level, he could feel his parent’s presence?
If it were true, then it would be awesome. Such an ability would certainly make it easier to locate his parents afterward.
Perhaps, he could sense their specific location if he focused his attention enough?
He began to meditate once again eagerly. He focused his attention to feel and elevate his spiritual power to perfection. Yet, the calling did not appear despite his intense attention.
‘It’s gone?’
‘Was it just a delusion?’
Feeling lethargic, Tang Wulin had no choice but to sit quietly and returned to the ordinary meditative state to calm his mind.
His consciousness dimmed. His entire body was soon enshrouded in all sorts of elements. He was being rejuvenated as he sensed the change brought by them. Each passing moment, every part of Tang Wulin was being elevated.
He realized the breakthrough of his spiritual power was helpful in the cultivation of his soul power. Tang Wulin’s cultivation rate was exceedingly swift. It was the result of his spiritual power mobilizing the origin energy on its own accord. It was just as he predicted. His body would be able to endure hitting a bottleneck even if he were to maintain his cultivation at this rate. He could make a breakthrough to an eight-ring Soul Douluo rank within a year.
“My child, my child... Wulin...”
The calling was heard once again. It remained vague and illusory as before. It was like an echo from a great distance which felt like another world. Yet, it seemed so real.
Tang Wulin’s consciousness was awakened almost instantaneously. He was shivering from the cold. He did not open his eyes but quickly focused his attention on the call coming from the distance.
However, upon sensing it, the calling stopped abruptly as if it was intercepted. It vanished completely into nothingness.
What...
Tang Wulin opened his eyes with a gloomy look on his face. He obviously heard the call, yet how did it disappear all of a sudden?
‘Could it be that I can only hear the voice when I’m in an empty state of consciousness?’
‘I shall give it a try then.’
He entered the meditative state once again. This time, it took him longer than usual. It was rather difficult for him to calm himself due to the concern he felt in his heart. With great effort, he managed to compose himself. When he opened his eyes once again, it was already early morning the next day.
Throughout the night, he did not hear the voice calling anymore.
Did this happen because his spiritual power was not powerful enough? If he could not maintain the connection to the call, there was utterly no way he could determine the location of his parents!
For this reason, he met up with the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and related his experience to the Limit Douluo. There was no other person who surpassed this woman when it came to cultivation experience.
Long Yeyue frowned a little upon listening to his account. “It’s not possible the call originated from your parents. You mentioned before that your parents are ordinary people. Ordinary people’s spiritual powers are limited, so the possibility of what happened as described by you is quite remote. It’s true that mankind’s spiritual powers will undergo immense changes after achieving the Spirit Domain spiritual power. Moreover, all sorts of miraculous events can happen. Spiritual detection may occur at times. In other words, when you call out with your spiritual power, it’s possible that someone can feel it within a certain range. However, the possibility is exceedingly small. At the moment, you’re still far from being able to do so. Even for someone like me who has already entered the Spirit Domain realm for over a hundred years and whose Spirit Domain is already established, it’s still very difficult for me. I can only produce a minor effect within certain limits.”
“Since you’ve asked such a question, I’m going to teach you the knowledge related to the Spirit Domain’s spiritual power. I believe you’ve yet to receive guidance in this area.”
Tang Wulin was energized and keen to learn. “Yes, I’ve never learned it before.” It was awesome having Elder Long around. With the guidance of such an experienced practitioner, he could certainly avoid any unnecessary detour in his cultivation path.
Long Yeyue spoke, “One needs the persistence to remain on the path of cultivation, but one’s natural endowments triumph over anything else. You’ve both the natural endowments and persistence. Hence, you’re capable of walking the path. The Spirit Domain realm is different from other spiritual ranks. It’s independent of the others. Before one achieves the Spirit Domain rank, one’s spiritual power can be described as the perception of nothingness. In other words, when your spiritual perception has increased, it means that your spiritual power is elevated accordingly. The more powerful one’s spiritual perception is, the more potent one’s spiritual power will be. Thus, we’ve got those screens that show us the numerical values based on the level of one’s spiritual power.”
“Yet, it’s different from the Spirit Domain realm. The Spirit Doman is the manifestation of one’s spiritual power. With it, you can sense every type of element in the external world and you’ve control over these elements. You can use it to unleash your abilities or rejuvenate yourself. Henceforth, you can affect everything which is related to you.”
“Also, you can strengthen your Spiritual Domain through repetitive cultivation. When the domain has been established, you’ll possess a small world that belongs to you. Your spirit will be the master of this small world and dominate over everything in this world. You can make numerous demands and use them for attack, defense, or even control. In fact, just about anything and everything. The formation of the Spirit Domain is the foundation for entering the demigod realm. You have already achieved the Spirit Domain rank for your spiritual power, but because no one guided you, your Spirit Domain has yet to develop. In the next three months, I hope that you’ll put in more effort. The sooner you establish your Spirit Domain, the better it’ll be for you. By then, you’ll discover the things which you couldn’t control initially will become easier to handle. You would be able to control many things with precision just by using your thoughts.”
